Package: wget Version: 1.10.2-2 Severity: normal When accessing an https server, wget does not appear to check the Subject Alternative Name field of the server certificate and in cases where wget is connecting to a name listed in that field, wget declines to connect to the server without the --no-check-certificate option, which should not be necessary in this case.
